InfoSAWIT, MEDAN – Institut Teknologi Sawit Indonesia (ITSI) through Himpunan Mahasiswa Jurusan Budidaya Perkebunan (HMJ BDP) and Palm Oil Millennial showed their commitment to share their happiness with the younger in Panti Asuhan Mamiyai Al Ittihadiyah. Yayasan Amal dan Sosial Panti Asuhan Mamiyai Al Ittihadiyah that have been operating since 1943 managed by Social Agency North Sumatera Province.
It was so touching there when the students and palm oil millennial were welcome by the smiles of the orphans. In their activity, the founder of Palm Oil Millennial Indonesia, Asmaul Habib Hasibuan motivated the orphans there.
“I have been an orphan for about 15 years. You may say that I am your senior, boys. There is no reason for you not to have goals. When you still breathe, there would be chances,” he said, as in the official statement to InfoSAWIT, Sunday (7/4/2024).
His speech was the source of inspiration for the orphans who might be weak or doubtful. Hasibuan emphasized that losing one of the parents is not the obstacle to reach out and realize your dreams and ideas.
Panti Asuhan Mamiyai Al Ittihadiyah did warmly welcome the participation of the students and palm oil millennial in the event. Ustad Rizal Harahap, the coordinator of Panti Asuhan Mamiyai was happy for them.
“Many students came here and saw the orphans but what we see today is uniformity and compactness in palm oil industries. We do appreciate your visit and thank for your presence here. Hopefully, your presence would be the motivation for the orphans to study more diligently,” Harahap said.
Chairman of HMJ BDP, Zaki Abdullah Najib told that the visit was the real proof and social spirit that the students of Institut Teknologi Sawit Indonesia have. "It is not about palm oil plantations only but we do care about our fellow, for we are social creatures,” he said.
The event was not about breaking the fast only but also did pray together with the orphans. It was ended by giving daily needs for the orphans as the support from the students and palm oil millennial for those who needed.
The collaboration between the two showed that palm oil industries focus not only business only but also play the roles to develop community, care about the environment. It is hoped, such activity would always be done to positively deliver impacts for the people. (T2)
